My grandmother hated tattoos. I got one on my leg when I was in my early 20s. She saw it while it was healing and we got into a fight over it, but it was there and it wasn't like it was going anywhere, so she got over it eventually. At first she wanted it covered whenever we went out together, but eventually she stopped asking me to do that. If you're close to your parents, I don't think a tattoo will ruin your relationship. If they get upset too about a more visible tattoo, you can always off to cover it if you go out with them once it's healed. There's makeup out there specifically made to cover tattoos that works great, and the compromise might help them be more accepting of highly visible tattoos until they get used to the idea of them.

I think it looks great. Are you planning on colouring it in or leaving it as is?

Hi everyone. I just joined the forum and I'm enjoying looking around at all your posts. I've got three tattoos so far and want to get more. I currently have the kanji for fox on my left ankle, an ankh and triquette on my right ankle, and Loki's name in runes with his MCU helmet on my left arm. I don't have pictures at the moment, but I'll get some eventually. The next one I want to get is a quote in both Japanese and English. That's the main reason I joined, I'd like to find an artist who actually knows Japanese so I can make sure the quote is done correctly. I know some Japanese myself, but I'd love to have an artist that understands the language as well to make sure it's right. I don't want to take chances with something permanently on my body, ya know? I think that's about it for an intro. I'm off to look at more pictures of your awesome tattoos now!
